"Throughout his time in Congress, Frank LoBiondo has been an independent voice for conservation and wildlife protection. He's a leader in efforts to protect the Delaware River Basin, maintain clean water safeguards, and cut industrial carbon pollution by investing in clean energy like offshore wind," said O'Mara. "Rep. LoBiondo knows that protecting America's wildlife and outdoor heritage isn't a partisan issue. It's a deeply held mainstream value for which there need to be pro-conservation voices in both parties."

The National Wildlife Federation Action Fund has endorsed Rep.
Frank LoBiondo for re-election in New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional
district. Collin O’Mara, board member of the NWF Action Fund
president and CEO of the National Wildlife
Federation, the Action Fund’s 501(c)3 sister organization, announced the
endorsement at an event today at Joe Buck Park in Millville, NJ.

“Throughout his time in Congress, Frank LoBiondo has been an
independent voice for conservation and wildlife protection. He’s a leader in
efforts to protect the Delaware River Basin, maintain clean water safeguards,
and cut industrial carbon pollution by investing in clean energy like offshore
wind,” said O’Mara. “Rep. LoBiondo knows that
protecting America’s wildlife and outdoor heritage isn’t a partisan issue. It’s
a deeply held mainstream value for which there need to be pro-conservation
voices in both parties.”

A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, Rep. LoBiondo has been
willing to break ranks at times with his own party’s leadership to stand up for
conservation values. He’s stood up to defend the Antiquities Act that creates
and protects public lands, from Devil’s Tower in the American west to historic landmarks
like the Statue of Liberty in the east. Rep. LoBiondo also voted to protect the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from destructive oil drilling and to preserve
the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to cut industrial carbon
pollution.

As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee, Rep. LoBiondo also has a long record of advocating for the
protection and restoration of America’s Great Waters, mass transit, recreation
trails and open space. He’s also worked to secure federal support for restoring
and strengthening New Jersey’s wetlands and marshes in the wake of superstorm
Sandy to protect communities and wildlife habitat from future storms while
promoting fishing and other natural resource-dependent businesses.

An estimated 2.4 million people took part in fishing,
hunting and other wildlife-related recreation in New Jersey generating $2.3
billion in economic activity in 2011, according to the most recent U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service survey.

The National Wildlife Federation Action Fund has
invested over $2 million to help conservation candidates win in each of the
last two Congressional campaign cycles. All 18 candidates endorsed by the NWF
Action Fund won their races in the 2012
Congressional elections.
